Pictured Friday, the ferry Oscar B. returned to service last Thursday after a Wahkiakum County mechanic replaced faulty shaft sleeves. The vessel was out of service for almost two months to upgrade the cooling system for engine generators. In the initial design, water intakes clogged with debris in last December's high water. The boat was drydocked, and workers installed a new, self-contained keel cooling system.
